Swingin' the World by the Tail

Don't know how the title is relevant. It's a very cool line taken out of its very cool context in a very cool song from a very cool album done by two very cool people which my very cool mother got for me quite randomly (but still very cool).

Enough with the very cool.

Much as I would like to say that I am swinging the world by the tail, that denotes a certain carefree-ness which is pretty much nonexistent about this time of year. Exams, papers, driving, officer retreats, work--it's all crazy. Things are looking really good for this summer, though, and I'm thankful for that.

So I don't have much to say. I'm mostly burning time between now and when I have to go meet my father at the office. Today was supposed to be a killer day; math exam at 7:30 am immediately followed by rotten photosynthesis lab. The math exam went fine--only seven problems and extra credit, which wasn't hard but meant the questions were worth more...blah. But I'm 99% sure I got the extra credit one right, which is sweet. It was something that I'm really terrible at, and we had ten minutes left and I was about to give up, but I thought about it some more and scribbled some stuff on the paper, and then the light went on and I did it! I'm really excited about that. Extra credit always helps. =)

And then lab was great. We got a super good score on our last lab report, which gave us all a boost of motivation and we finished an hour early...the only thing I hate about that is if we get a rotten score, I'll feel very bad, because we had the time to improve. I would have liked to stay and make addition stuff, but no one else did, so ah well.

I'm very tired. I didn't go to CY last night; I was falling asleep all day yesterday, and with the exam today I just couldn't. I listened to music, half-watched Henry V with Beth and the boys, and half-studied for the exam. I had the most lovely ice cream at the Marble Slab yesterday: coffee with heath bar, and that gave me some energy to study. But I mostly listened to music.

...and now I'm just being random and rather mindless. 20 minutes 'till I have to go. I do wish I'd brought more than my lab manual...I wasn't expecting this much down time.

Maybe I'll sleep...

    No, maybe you should email me. ;-) Or maybe you did. I'm not sure. :-D

    What's the title from? I mean besides from something cool, cool, cool! :-D

    Glad the day went well, other than the tiredness. :-)

    Well, if it's any comfort to you, I'm exhausted and innundated with work at the same time right now.

    Wow, you missing CY! Very sad....

    Hope your exam and lab report, etc. turn out better than expected.
